Abstract
|
|
|
|
61Cu is a promising PET radiometal having favorable nuclear decay characteristics with appropriate half-lifeof 3.3 h. Owing its promising capabilities in radiopharmaceutical chemistry and its chemical similarities withits isotopes 64Cu and 67Cu, in this work we have tried to optimize the production and separation conditions of61Cu. 61Cu was produced via (p, x) reaction with natural nickel which was electroplated on the high purity silvercoated copper backing target holder. The optimization of target electrodeposition, beam energy and currentmodulation, target dissolution and separation were optimized in this study. Preliminary studies show that 61Cuwas successfully produced and separated which can be further extended for the production of 64Cu and 67Cu.
